You should be innovating for your impact. This can help you make progress, spark change, and create something that is socioeconomically valuable. Below are some of the best approaches to program…

User-Centric On-Demand Self-Service

The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing highlights On-Demand Self-Service as one of the essential characteristics of the cloud model. The characteristics of the cloud model are defined independently of the Service Models (SaaS, IaaS, Paas, …) and the Deployment Models (Private cloud, Public cloud, Hybrid cloud, …). On-demand self-service. A consumer can unilaterally provision computing…

Just had an idea for a Danny phantom au that potentially gets very dark.

Danny goes down to investigate the portal alone.

Danny dies in the portal.

Like, fully dead.

Maddie hears his screams from upstairs, and runs to investigate.

She finds her son's corpse lying in front of a swirling green portal.

The portal needed a sacrifice to open.

The portal is open.

more of them and trioholders art dump below !

also yea that pic was from my commission ref sheet

mhatwt had an ugliest mha character contest and for some reason bruce landed top 20????

for bunny day!!!!!!

context for this was bc of the 'reveal' of yoichi also calling kudou Leader in canon and im like dude you dont even wear their uniform u r not part of the team 😭!!! /lh

and also context! so since its canon that afo has s-tier charisma (from ultra analysis), im like okay if thats the case then yoichi 100% charismatic too (but his charm is different than his brothers ofc, since hes not using it to gain followers), he just never got to exert it that much because of his brother gatekeeping him from ppl lol . like if he manages to emotionally sway someone like KUDOU then yes i think he has untapped power when it comes rizzing people up (yea this became one of my fave yoichi hcs) . so the doodles is just kudous resistance members being charmed by yoichi and tripping themselves just to impress him lol

i rmbr having this idea talked about in a gc and it turned angsty when we broached the subject of yoichis death, especially since he was killed infront of everyone🥹 like ahjjhgh its bittersweet, the thought of yoichi actually being remembered/mourned beyond kudou-bruce-afo

141 x american reader who chronically packs around a Big Stupid Cup (tm). They don't understand why any civilian would need to tote around 40 oz of water with them 24/7.

Now none of them bother fetching their own drink at home and instead take drags out of whatever their drinking on. And have the audacity to get sideways when the cup is empty.

Cue any of the boys dutifully filling a brightly colored insulated cup, timidly walking up to check with their spouse if that is enough ice before trotting back to fill it up.

hellaaa plz share your favorite dabihawks fics for all of us who want some recs into their crazy minds!!

sorry i didnt answer this straight away i was reading a 230k words fic that i wanted to finish before i added it here 😭 does anyone know what's wrong with me. therapists hate me

dabihawks rec list!!

burn it all down by dorothycanfly - an au where dabi comes back to the todoroki estate to kill shouto when he's 19 and shouto is 11, but decides instead to take his little brother with him as part of his Grand Evil Masterplan that doesn't quite go as he wanted. this is the fic i always rec first in this fandom as it's the first dabi fic i really read that felt like it Understood Him and really made me go bananas about him. it's dark and twisted and true to what i think his actual mindset would be without demonising him, and also has shouto and him being very close and the way the author writes their dynamic is everything to me like it's so true to a real sibling relationship and id die for them. it gets very smutty in the middle but if that's not your thing the plot also kicks right back up again at 100mph immediately after, and there's also a sequel still being updated that's very promising.

big reputations by phanatics - singer fake dating au!!! i absolutely love dabi's characterisation in this and the celebrity angle is handled soooo well. the miscommunication and slow burn is incredible and that's coming from a bitch who finds both tropes frustrating unless they're done to my very niche standards. im pretty sure i read this fic in one day. im not making graduation i fear.

gunshots and molotovs by ironicallystupid - this is a 14k oneshot where dabi treats hawks' gunshot wound in a distinctly dabi way and then they get drunk. this one really got to me and i think it's bc it's one fic where they feel so true to character while still, for once, both acting their age. a big appeal of dabihawks for me is that they are both ultimately just two guys in their early twenties and seeing them embody that youth and silliness was surprisingly poignant

the 'will you accept this rose?' series by satelliteblue- the famous bachelorette au! if you don't know what i mean by famous, it's bc this fic has a habit of getting people who don't even read mha fic obsessed with it. like it's genuinely addicting. i remember first finding it and being like 'bacherlorette au dabihawks? be so fr' and look where im at now, 355k words later. it's genuinely just such a fun read AND i love the drama of it AND it has the todofam angle AND an actual plot snuck into it effortlessly. one of my fav fics of all time truly and it's still updating!

perspective by theeclecticeccentric - this is the fic i just finished and when i tell you ive powered through all 230k words of it in the past 4ish days. i love the league dynamic in this with the whole found family angle. i'll say it was something i clicked on less bc this kind of au (childhood friends dabihawks brainwashed to forget each other) is what i would normally go for and more bc i have BATTERED the dabihawks tag for all it's worth so i just tried it on a whim, but im so happy i clicked this bc it wound up being so fun! i also love any fic that forces the heroes and villains to ally against the hpsc and this fic does that. instant hit with me.

I LOVE the “am I homophobic” trope, please can I have some of it ? 🙏🏼😊

I'm actually so proud of this fic so I will gladly share some more. It's a bit of a long snippet because there were several lines I wanted to show

So, he sighed and shook his head, “No, this is important. I need to process this, figure out what’s going on.”

Frank smiled at him, “Well, if you need to stop at any time we can. I don’t want to push you.” At Eddie’s short nod, he continued. “So if you’re not jealous of his relationship, maybe you’re jealous of Buck. You’ve been hanging out with Tommy a lot and Buck swooped in and stole him from you. Maybe you feel left out.”

Eddie snorted, “No, Buck’s the one that sprained my ankle because he was upset I was hanging out with Tommy. Granted apparently that was because he wanted to kiss Tommy so badly it made him stupid.”

Frank raised an eyebrow, “He sprained… You know what, I don’t think I want to know.”

Frank made a note in his little notebook. Eddie wondered if maybe he was reminding himself never to take Buck on as a client. He couldn’t blame the guy. The inner workings of Buck’s mind were an enigma.

“Could it be because you want to kiss Tommy?”

Eddie blinked, processing the question. Kiss Tommy? Why would he kiss Tommy? That made no sense. “Tommy is cool and all, but he’s not… I’m not…”

“Not what?” When Eddie didn’t answer, Frank pressed on. “Not into him? Not gay?”

Eddie went to speak, went to tell Frank that he wasn’t gay. How could he be gay? He’d had a wife, had a son with said wife. He’s had girlfriends, for god’s sake. Not that any of those relationships worked out. They never worked out. Why didn’t they work out?

Bisexual, his mind reminded him. That’s what Buck is. He likes men and women. Has been with women.

But that didn’t feel right, either. The word felt like a coat that didn’t fit right. One where the arms were just a little too tight and if you moved the wrong way, the seams would burst.

I’m (slowly) plotting out which sites to start repping my art -and hopefully a forthcoming art shop- on, and I was wondering if DeviantArt is worth the effort.

I haven’t touched my old account in years, even before DA made a lot of the UI changes that pissed everyone off, but since it’s been a while I’m wondering if they’ve improved any? Are they worth spending what few spoons I have on getting set up & running an account again?

i am so tired of how easily people slip into anti-Blackness to defend their arguments

recently (always tbh but also recently) i've been seeing a lot of disdain circulating for African Americans, disappointedly but not surprisingly from a lot of non-white people as well.

[f appropriating other cultures is so repugnant to you... why do you have a kpop profile pic... but i digress]

specifically this is about the Cleopatra tv show? casting that people are discussing right now, it's really highlighted how Black people, especially African Americans, aren't allowed to do anything a little bit cringe without racist, violent blowback. Cleopatra has been played by many many actresses, most of whom aren't of Greek or Egyptian descent. So it's weird that people are acting like Black people are uniquely horrible and ignorant for the casting of a Black woman as Cleopatra, when many castings have not been historically accurate.

Liz Taylor was British-American, Vivien Leigh was British, Monica Bellucci and Sophia Italian... you get the point. and yet people aren't hurling racist slurs at white people (there are none) for casting Cleopatra as non-Greek/Egyptian all these years. if you're upset about this particular casting, you can at least be civil with your discussions. but, no, it's easiest to call us dirty, ignorant n******s because half the time people are just waiting for an excuse.

let me explain something to you, gently. a lot of people ask, well, African Americans and Caribbeans were sold from West African countries like Ghana and Nigeria, why don't they go appropriate those countries.

the answer's quite simple. we don't learn anything about West Africa in school.

laugh break, haha, dumb USAmericans.

okay, back to business. in the U.S., we learn a very short list of non-European civilizations: Mesopotamia, China, and Egypt. Maybe one line on Mali if you're lucky. the school system here is very sensitive to teaching anything that triggers 'white guilt' aka anything more than a cursory glance at anything concerning Black people and our history, which is deemed as unimportant. you can say we were obviously enslaved from West African countries so we should learn about those cultures, but... we don't speak our old languages, save for some loanwords like 'duppy' instead of 'ghost' in Caribbean vernacular and such, we don't eat our old foods, wear our traditional clothes... we don't even know what they were, what ethnic group(s) we would have belonged to. we're not immigrants in that sense that we have a home country, a definite place of origin. do you know what it's like to feel that so much of your identity is rootless? do you know how endless that emptiness is?

so when these three non-European civilizations were laid out before us, we latched onto the closest one, and ran a little too far with it.

in fact, my generation is less dependent on Egypt as a sort of crutch; this is more of an older people thing. we have healed enough to be able to look within.

this is not a sob story. this is just a story of how we got here, and how this construction of the world -- disregarding the effects of white supremacy and racial trauma while enacting racist behavior and showing incredible fluency with white supremacist imagery and rhetoric -- is fundamentally flawed.

this is just a sample of the racist tweets on the actress's twitter. i have chosen not to include the images that titilate these people but they are equally horrible, depicting violence against Black people.

in fact, i should stop calling this pathological behavior pattern 'white supremacy' at this point because a lot of people are actually getting off is to Arab slavery. the parallels between misogyny and anti-Blackness are so interesting -- misogynists are addicted to the ego boost of subjugating women, racists are addicted to the ego boost of subjugating Blacks. yes, your ancestors spearheaded an appallingly brutal slave trade of African people which lasted thirteen centuries and is continues to this day (yes, Black people are still being enslaved in your countries but you're butthurt over a tv show so it's time to go ballistic -- by the way white people were also kidnapped and sold but since the rise of European imperialism they'd been able to shed that 'shame'), even more evil than the triangular trade and there are fewer survivors because of the reproductive control methods (read, violent sterilization). source1 source2. you people spouting this nonsense because of a tv show are just as racist as the white people over here, possibly worse. do you feel edgy villain enough now? happy?!

and by the way, 'threatening' to cast white actors as Harriet Tubman or Martin Luther King doesn't hurt us the way that Cleopatra not looking white enough seems to emotionally wound you, we are used to being minimized and erased for our contributions to society and are not thin-skinned like the losers complaining about this like it's the worst thing in their lives.

Is Afro-centerism inaccurate? Probably. Is it fearmongering to position it as equivalent to white supremacy? Absolutely.

[Pop quiz: Which ideology enslaved, tortured, raped, killed, and colonized across many centuries?]

Does calling us n******s and invoking 4chan 'we wuz kangz' (yes there was a we wuz kangz meme but i'm not reposting their childish shit on my blog) arguments make you sound like anything other than a whiny child? No. Just say you don't like the casting like a grown-up.

Why doesn't Hollywood produce West Africa period pieces in order to cast more Black actors instead? Now there's an actually productive question. Thank you. Actually, next they should do a long, high budget docudrama on the Arab slave trade so you can feel really uncomfortable.
